The survey highlighted a significant preparedness gap: whilst many recognise the importance of planning, only 43% feel fully prepared today.

Just 25% have both completed and communicated their plans, whilst 35% have only partial plans in place. About 17% have taken no action.

Singapore Airlines reported a 2.6% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic in November, reaching 13.3 billion passenger-kilometres, slightly outpacing the 2.2% growth in capacity across its full-service and budget carriers.

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Nathan Peng, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Singapore Management University (SMU), to discuss the drop in SMTA recipients and how government programs are supporting lower-income families in both the short and long term.
